A children's book comic page layout in watercolor and iridescent ink illustration style, four panels on pale ocean-blue paper with a hand-drawn coral border. Panel one (top): a tiny seahorse named Coral drifts sadly near a reef holding an empty shell, speech bubble reads "My favourite shell broke. Now nothing sounds pretty anymore." Panel two (middle left): Coral tries listening to different shells — a conch, a spiral, a clam — each one making a face of disappointment, speech bubbles read "Too flat." "Too squeaky." "That's just a rock." Panel three (middle right): Coral sits alone near a giant whale sleeping on the ocean floor, the whale's deep rumbling snore vibrating through the water making tiny bubbles dance, Coral's eyes widening, speech bubble reads "Wait… THAT'S the sound I missed." Panel four (bottom): Coral curled up asleep against the whale's warm side, the whale's snore rumbling gently, tiny fish sleeping in the bubble stream, narration box reads "Coral learned that the best sounds aren't found in shells — they're found in friends who snore like the ocean." Bioluminescent underwater lighting with warm whale-glow, palette of ocean blue, coral pink, iridescent silver, and deep teal, watercolor with iridescent ink accents, hand-lettered text, storybook illustration medium, high resolution.
